No! It simpler than that. If you find the correct firmware on samfirmware and update via odin you dont need to do anything else. Odin does the same as kies does but manually. You can select and install pretty much any firmware you like.

[Q] Help needed to recover bricked phone...

Hello experts,

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000M (Bell Version)

OS: Updated to Froyo 2.2.

Other: Rooted with OCLF Lag Fix

My phone over the past day started receiving force closures on google apps and other apps. When I rebooted I noticed some icons had the android symbol and not their own icon. Phone has been running great for a few weeks.

I went into recovery mode and formatted the internal sd card as well as reset to factory.

Restarted phone and it appeared to be good for a few minutes but then started getting force closure pop ups on a few apps ie, when I clicked on the Handsent app it would force close.

Powered off the phone attempted to turn it back on and now I get the white static Galaxy S Splash screen that flashes ever 2 seconds and that's all it does.

I tried powering off the phone then holding down the up volume and the home button at the same time but it goes into the flashing splash screen.

I tried powering on holding down the volume down button and home button it then shows me a yellow triangle that says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!"

That's all the message that I get and nothing else happens.

Where do I go from here?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:
Relax, as long as you have download mode, you're safe.

The problem of getting stuck in SetupConnection happens because each time you start download mode on your phone, it only accepts Odin once. Unplug the battery and try again. Odin will detect it. Also, try running odin.exe as Administrator (right click).

At last, please use XXJPY from samfirmware.com

After that, go for the instruction to flash the 2e recovery and Clockwork Mod

After that, flash Darky's v8 Wipe

go on man, one step at a time. I had exactly this situation yesterday :)

Cheers

I think my phone is bricked...pls help

Hi there. this is my first post here and unfortunately its an unpleasant one for me.

Heres the story:

I was trying to install "Recovery2e "by chainfire with the aim of installing Darky's V8 ROM.

While trying to load the image in odinv4 i kept getting the "invalid image type" error. I went back to odin3 v1.0 and tried it with that.

It recognised the phone fine (im in download mode) and loaded the .tar file for cf-root.

It started the process ok and did the fllowing sequences before hanging:

"File analysis...

get PIT for mapping...

Firmware update start...

zImage"

It stopped at that. I went off and had my lunch, came back up and thought it was finished so i stupidly unplugged the phone and shut down odin.

I then got the black bricked screen.

I managed to get the phone back into download mode but i dont know where to go from here.

Can anyone pls help??

Hey Kenny,

download any flashable ROM you would like. Follow the instructions in the thread of the ROM and flash it.

If you need any more help, ask:D

Or, to satisfy some people here, use the search function and read through the sticky. That will probably work too, just takes some time:)

This thread & contents are headed for a HUGE well that's destined for such posts unless you are fast. Do you still have download mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hudster2001:
download a stock rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913 and flash with odin.

I'd recommend the I9000XXJPU|2.2.1|2010 December, only because it contains the pit files, the modem, pda and csc files needed.

when odin completes, reboot into download again and flash the cf root kernal from Here as the PDA using odin again, this will root your phone and allow you to use clock recovery mod to flash a custom rom.

Now download clockworkmod recovery, from Here, and rename as update.zip and place it on your internal SD card, reboot into recovery mode and apply update.zip, (you might need to apply it twice).

The you can download a custom rom and flash via cwm, i'd recommend Doc's roms, they are fast and easy to do.

Hope this helps, I've been in the same situation as you a few times and I've always got it back.

Why did you even Flash the phone?

There was no need to flash the phone if it was a battery issue.

now you have 2 problem to figure out instead of one.

First flash to stock JM8, then make sure your phone works properly and boot into RECOVERY MODE, then see if you can format the internal SD

select wipe data, and wipe cache

make sure there are no vibrations when you are doing that, if there's vibration it usually means problems

then once the phone can boot back to the AOS, see if your battery is working or not
